00:00 So tell me, why do you want to be a maid in my house?
00:07 Why? Because of you, madam.
00:09 20 years ago, I had a happy family.
00:12 Until my mother discovered my father having an affair with my private tutor.
00:16 I hate you! You betrayed our family!
00:20 Stop! You're gonna explode!
00:22 I'm not through with you!
00:28 Hannah, I'm so sorry about your parents.
00:31 I guess you'll have to call me mommy now.
00:33 I will never call you mommy.
00:35 You will if I say so.
00:39 No I won't! And you can't make me!
00:42 We'll see about that.
00:46 My little brother got sick and died on my tutor's watch.
00:51 Little baby, don't you cry. Mama's gonna sing you a lullaby.
00:58 Is this all it takes for you to fall apart?
01:03 So pathetic.
01:05 Why didn't you take him to the hospital when he was sick?
01:08 I begged you! I'm telling my father everything!
01:12 Your father? Your father is drowning in a sea of death.
01:16 Ten million deep.
01:18 Thanks to me, his only escape?
01:21 That's one perfect solution.
01:24 The real question is, does he love you enough to take that plunge?
01:29 You're a monster! I won't let you get away with this!
01:40 Do you remember this?
01:47 Brings back some memories, doesn't it?
01:49 How about I become your new tutor?
01:55 We are going to have so much fun together.
01:59 Daddy?
02:13 Don't worry, Diana. Your daddy still loves you.
02:17 At eight years old, my innocence died with him.
02:21 Years passed. Dreams distilled down to a purity of purpose.
02:26 Revenge.
02:28 You said your name was Raven, right?
02:31 Eat sweets?
02:34 I lost my taste for sweets a long time ago.
02:37 Why do you want to be a maid in my house?
02:43 I've always admired the warmth of families like yours.
02:46 So I'll join your family.
02:56 And then, it's time for an eye for an eye to make her face the consequences.
03:11 After ruining my family, Sophie married into wealth.
03:15 I have a lecture early in the morning.
03:18 Honey?
03:20 Rumor has it they're still in love after 15 years.
03:24 But it's all just a facade.
03:27 Looking for a little excitement in your marriage, madam?
03:34 [MUSIC]
03:40 Greg Harrington. A respected professor from a prestigious family.
03:46 A perfect gentleman to the outside world.
03:50 What are you doing here?
03:57 Sorry. Madam asked me to clean the bathroom.
04:02 You can go now.
04:03 Wait!
04:21 Aren't you forgetting something?
04:25 [MUSIC]
04:28 Thank you.
04:36 I'll leave now.
04:39 I got you something.
04:51 What is it?
04:52 Oh my gosh, it's beautiful.
04:57 Can you put it on me?
04:59 Of course.
05:00 I love it.
05:05 That pleasant jingle is no sweet love song.
05:13 [MUSIC]
05:16 It's the first crack in your marriage.
05:26 But this is only the beginning.
05:34 [BREATHING]
05:37 I'm going to bring you to the heights of ecstasy
05:56 before bringing you down to hell.
05:59 [MUSIC]
06:02 So we're in the Palais and we have to go to the Grand Lumiere
06:07 because I have to meet Jean-Paul.
06:08 But there was no way we were going to make it there.
06:10 That being said, had I met him beforehand,
06:13 we never would have been able to make a deal.
06:16 Sophie, your necklace is stunning.
06:19 Thank you. It was passed down to me by my mother.
06:22 So anyway, on our way...
06:25 This woman is a thief.
06:26 [MUSIC]
06:29 What are you doing?
06:32 That's my wife's.
06:34 I won't tell if you won't tell.
06:36 Besides, it's home-wear for you.
06:41 [MUSIC]
06:44 She stole my mother's diamond necklace and then my father.
06:51 [MUSIC]
06:55 [MUSIC]
06:58 I hope the soup isn't too hot for you this time, ma'am.
07:09 Did you steal my diamond necklace?
07:12 I didn't steal your necklace.
07:15 You're lying.
07:18 You were the one who was cleaning my room.
07:20 Who else could it be?
07:21 [MUSIC]
07:24 Ma'am, it's not here.
07:26 [MUSIC]
07:28 Then it must be on her.
07:30 Search her.
07:31 Stop!
07:33 [MUSIC]
07:36 I'll do it myself.
07:40 [MUSIC]
07:43 [MUSIC]
07:46 What is the meaning of this?
07:59 Are you okay?
08:01 This is ridiculous.
08:06 Ma'am, I found your necklace.
08:08 It was in your coat pocket.
08:10 What?
08:12 That's impossible.
08:13 I know I put it in my jewelry box.
08:15 Enough.
08:16 Apologize to her.
08:17 Apologize?
08:19 To her? She's a maid.
08:21 Why are you siding with her?
08:23 Are you having an affair?
08:26 How dare you insult me in front of our staff.
08:30 Get a hold of yourself, okay?
08:32 Don't ever question my loyalty again.
08:34 Excuse me.
08:37 [MUSIC]
08:40 [KNOCKING]
08:56 I'm so sorry about today.
08:58 I need to apologize to my wife.
09:01 I had no idea she was like this with the maids.
09:03 It's okay.
09:06 I'm used to it.
09:07 Do you need a hand?
09:09 [CRASH]
09:15 [MUSIC]
09:33 [MUSIC]
09:36 The truth doesn't matter.
09:44 I believe in one kind of justice.
09:46 An eye for an eye, evil for evil.
09:49 Some people in this world only desire what's not theirs.
10:02 Why are you wearing my mother's dress?
10:04 Well, I just love everything of your mother's.
10:07 Her clothes, her jewelry.
10:10 And even her husband.
10:16 About the missing necklace.
10:20 I may have overreacted a bit.
10:23 It's alright, ma'am.
10:26 I understand.
10:27 It's just...
10:29 Some servants get a glimpse of finery in taste,
10:32 and they start getting envious notions.
10:35 Surely they don't think that proximity grants ownership.
10:39 Foolish aspirations, don't you think?
10:41 A delusion that demands punishment.
10:45 In my eyes.
10:46 Well, I'm glad you see it that way.
10:48 Too bad you don't really get it.
10:52 So let me teach you.
10:58 [MUSIC]
11:01 You should hurry, ma'am, or the other guests will arrive before you.
11:14 A lady of status knows how to make an entrance.
11:17 Making them pine a touch heightens the allure.
11:25 Letting you depart unscarred would be a mercy undeserved.
11:28 No, no, no.
11:31 Your punishment will reveal itself.
11:34 In time.
11:36 Do you like it on me?
11:49 Hey, you look nice.
11:52 Just remember, it's not yours.
11:54 Do you want me to take it off?
11:56 Relax.
11:59 I'm just enjoying your wife's exquisite taste.
12:03 Could you zip me up?
12:06 Turn this car around now!
12:23 [MUSIC]
12:26 What festers in you now?
12:35 As that which you hold most dear slips away.
12:39 They say the most thrilling moment in a marriage isn't the wedding night.
12:52 But the night you first get caught.
12:54 It was you who sent me that photo.
12:58 Yes.
12:59 Happy anniversary, my love.
13:07 We've been planning this for you. Do you like it, ma'am?
13:20 It's yours and madam's anniversary.
13:22 I... I forgot.
13:25 Don't worry.
13:26 I've got it taken care of.
13:29 I've heard the worst. I thought Greg had forgotten our anniversary.
13:32 Please, you and Greg are practically famous for being so in love.
13:36 Not as much as you and Rob.
13:38 I'm so sorry, sir. Please, forgive my clumsiness.
13:44 This plug is fired.
13:50 I was getting bored of these shoes anyways. Excuse me.
13:53 Do they take before a fool blinded by this pageantry?
14:02 Partaking in some night air and covert meetings?
14:07 I just needed some air, madam.
14:09 By yourself or with someone else?
14:14 [Splash]
14:15 For mounting insolence.
14:29 I'm sorry. I shouldn't have been smoking.
14:31 I hate surprises.
14:33 The loss of control reduced to a spectacle?
14:36 Never again, do you understand?
14:40 [Doorbell]
14:41 Maybe I was wrong.
14:48 What are you doing up here?
14:55 Thought you might be cold.
14:57 You?
14:59 You can't. Not here.
15:01 Everyone's getting drunk. It's fine.
15:04 Guess what color underwear I'm wearing.
15:07 I thought you didn't wear underwear.
15:09 [Laughter]
15:11 What happened?
15:21 Guess what I wore underwear in.
15:23 I didn't think you wore underwear.
15:25 How could you do this to me?
15:29 Now that's a real surprise.
15:31 What?
15:32 Like it, madam?
15:34 [Splash]
15:35 What happened?
15:44 Guess what I wore underwear in.
15:46 I didn't think you wore underwear.
15:48 [Splash]
15:49 What a slut.
15:50 That is disgusting.
15:52 How could you do this to me?
15:54 [Splash]
15:55 Twenty years ago, this woman ruined my life.
15:58 [Splash]
15:59 Twenty years biding my time
16:01 until I could infiltrate as staff.
16:04 Didn't take long to hatch a plan.
16:07 [Splash]
16:08 Starting with a surprise party.
16:11 Surprise!
16:14 Step one for creating a scandal.
16:17 You have to put all the players in the same room.
16:20 [Splash]
16:21 Step two, use yourself as bait.
16:24 I'm so sorry, sir. Please forgive me.
16:27 [Splash]
16:28 Step three.
16:30 [Splash]
16:31 Set up an irresistible little trap.
16:34 Partaking in some night air and covert meetings.
16:38 [Splash]
16:39 Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Slow down, slow down.
16:45 The bait shouldn't be so reckless.
16:47 I'm so sorry, sir.
16:48 I was rushing to fill everyone's drinks.
16:50 I forgot to take this coat up to madam.
16:52 Okay. Well, how about I take it for you?
16:55 Really?
16:56 Sure.
16:57 Thank you.
16:58 [Splash]
16:59 At last, creating the perfect space for their affair.
17:04 [Splash]
17:05 They say there's no good drama without an audience, right?
17:15 Time to show everyone Sophie's dirty little secrets.
17:19 How could you do this to me?
17:21 I'm so sorry, sir.
17:23 I can't believe this.
17:24 Great. Great.
17:26 I want a divorce.
17:27 Don't you disgust me.
17:29 Great.
17:30 What is it? Where's Rob?
17:32 Rob!
17:33 Let public ruin be but the first wound.
17:37 Their true punishment will come when I strip away all that they hold most dear.
17:42 [Splash]
17:43 The whole town is gossiping about your affair.
17:56 Didn't you also have an affair?
17:58 I did not.
17:59 Oh. Not yet anyway.
18:05 You all can leave.
18:09 Oh, now. Now you know how to avoid suspicion.
18:14 You have ruined our family's reputation.
18:17 Reputation?
18:20 Please, why are you acting so noble?
18:24 Your family hasn't had a reputation in a long time.
18:27 Isn't that why you married me?
18:29 Wasn't it you who took advantage of me?
18:33 [Splash]
18:38 If we married, you were nothing.
18:42 Just a gauche upstart desperately clinging to your wealth as a substitute for any pedigree or grace.
18:49 Our alliance has granted you any status.
18:54 We've managed to strike a balance up until now, but this, you have crossed my bottom line.
19:00 Will that lower your bottom line?
19:15 This is not nearly enough.
19:17 I want the penthouse in Central Park, too.
19:22 Only the 270 degree view of the city every night will be enough to calm the anger in my heart.
19:28 What are we celebrating?
19:45 Us.
19:47 [Sizzling]
19:49 Did you catch all that?
20:05 Marriages aren't sustained by fidelity.
20:09 They aren't about love.
20:12 They're about the benefits.
20:14 That's the moral of it.
20:16 I know it was you, by the way.
20:20 Everything. Last night.
20:22 Are you trying to get rid of me?
20:25 Well, all of your cards have been played, so what's the harm in keeping you?
20:30 Besides, of all the ambitious leads...
20:33 I like your strawberry cake best.
20:38 Mm. So sweet.
20:41 [Sizzling]
20:43 You're wrong, Matt.
20:48 I haven't played my last card yet.
21:08 Hi. Excuse me. You to buy flowers for the lovely lady of your life?
21:12 Let us know, lovely lady, but... sure.
21:14 Don't. This guy's faking it.
21:16 He'll accuse you of using a fake bill, then try to blackmail you.
21:19 What?
21:21 It's a common ruse with street gangsters, trust me.
21:23 Bitch.
21:26 Oh.
21:29 Fuck off.
21:31 Here. Take this.
21:35 To deal with guys like that, you have to be more ruthless than them.
21:38 Can I take you to a hospital?
21:40 Welcome home, sir.
21:47 Bonjour. Comment allez-vous, Louis?
21:49 It's good to see you.
21:50 You too.
21:51 Ethan, I'm so happy you're home.
21:53 Did you not eat on this tour? You lost so much weight.
21:59 That's it. Let's get you some food.
22:01 [laughter]
22:03 Not only is he a talented pianist, but he gets more jammy every time I see him.
22:22 Indeed. But we serve this world, not share it.
22:25 And his mother controls his life. Right, Raven?
22:29 Not necessarily.
22:31 I am so happy you're home.
22:33 Is there anything special you'd like to eat?
22:36 Mom, uh...
22:40 What is that?
22:41 I told you I always wanted to raise a pet.
22:43 Ethan, you know you can't have a pet. What if it were to bite your hand?
22:46 You know how important your hands are as a pianist.
22:48 Okay. We'll find her a new home.
22:52 Can you take care of that door?
22:57 That's my good boy.
22:59 Always listening to his mom.
23:01 Now let's get you something to eat.
23:03 Oh, Nana.
23:06 Well, well, well, madam.
23:15 It appears your baby boy isn't quite the fluffy, docile type you think he is.
23:20 This game just got interesting.
23:25 [Sizzling]
23:27 Am I dreaming of you?
23:45 [Groans]
23:53 Your hand. It's injured.
23:55 Why are you playing the piano?
23:57 I just felt like playing since no one else was around.
23:59 You do know no one is supposed to touch this thing.
24:01 I know.
24:03 But the more untouchable something is, the more I like it.
24:07 Isn't it the same for you?
24:09 I'm not sure I understand what you mean.
24:11 Has the master snake had enough to eat today?
24:14 Teach me to play the piano, and I'll prepare food for...
24:18 Nana, is it?
24:21 [Sizzling]
24:23 It'll be our little secret.
24:25 I won't tell the madam.
24:27 Are you threatening me?
24:31 I just want to spend a little time around you, I guess.
24:34 A little rebellion, if.
24:36 You don't have to pretend to be a good boy around me.
24:39 You're trying to seduce me.
24:41 I don't know.
24:43 Did you take the bait?
24:46 [Sighs]
24:48 Fresh cut wings, sir.
25:02 Thank you.
25:04 Stop!
25:06 Such a pretty shade of lipstick.
25:08 Another ambitious maid so pretty, trying to seduce my son.
25:12 Be ashamed if something happened to that pretty face.
25:15 Mom, let me go.
25:17 It's okay, darling.
25:19 Why don't you just go upstairs?
25:21 Stop!
25:34 My son spoke up for you today.
25:36 Does that make you happy?
25:38 Butlerly, take her away.
25:41 No, I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry.
25:44 This is what happens when you mess with my son.
25:48 Next time, I won't be so lenient. Are we clear?
25:51 Ethan, you're too naive. I'm just trying to protect you.
26:07 Is that so?
26:09 And if another maid tries to mess with you again, you tell me and let me handle it.
26:13 If you want to get close to someone, tell them to stay away.
26:25 Ethan, I came.
26:36 And just like that, the prey takes the bait.
26:41 Thank you.
26:46 You know, I heard that you are the most famous pianist for your age in the country.
26:52 And the youngest Chopin Prize winner.
26:55 You seem to know a lot about me.
26:59 I envy you. I always wanted to learn how to play the piano.
27:05 But unfortunately, I never had the opportunity.
27:09 Why is that?
27:12 Someone destroyed my family and made me an orphan.
27:16 I'm just kidding. My family couldn't afford lessons, so...
27:27 But now, I have you to teach me.
27:30 What do you want to learn?
27:33 Childhood memory.
27:35 What's wrong?
27:41 Oh, nothing. I just...
27:46 It reminds me of someone from my past.
27:49 [Music]
27:52 You're Sophie's son, right?
28:17 Come play with me.
28:19 Let's play childhood memory. I'll teach you.
28:26 You don't have a piano at home, do you?
28:43 Here. Come play with me more often.
28:47 Ethan.
28:54 Let go of the past.
28:57 Focus on who's in front of you right now.
29:00 Okay. I'll teach you.
29:04 I'll start with a simple exercise.
29:07 Okay.
29:08 Head on the seat.
29:10 [Music]
29:13 I should have realized sooner that her only weakness is you.
29:21 My son doesn't need your pity. Keep your cheap toys and leave.
29:32 [Music]
29:35 Do you like this piano, honey? Then it's all yours.
29:43 Mommy will do anything for you.
29:46 So to defeat her, I have no choice but to destroy you.
29:59 Ethan, you came.
30:02 Nothing gets past you in this house, does it?
30:06 Did you really think that you could seduce my son?
30:11 Why are you laughing?
30:15 I was just seeing you lose your cool like this.
30:18 I think I must have hit a nerve.
30:21 First my husband, now my son.
30:25 Are you after me?
30:28 Who are you really?
30:30 Think long and hard about your past.
30:35 Who have you wronged?
30:37 I have a lot of enemies.
30:42 You are not worth my time.
30:44 [Music]
30:51 [Music]
30:54 Is there sugar? I need sugar.
31:01 What are you looking for, honey?
31:17 Mom, just Raven, one of the maids.
31:21 She's gone. I heard about your piano lessons.
31:25 What? Mom, no. It's not what you think.
31:28 Relax. I know it was a kind gesture.
31:31 I sent her abroad to study music.
31:33 My friends at the conservatories will take great care of her.
31:36 That's really generous of you. Thank you.
31:40 You can thank me by spending the day with me. It's my birthday.
31:45 Of course. Mom, happy birthday. Here, I'll go get freshened up, okay?
31:49 Mrs. Farrington, you have a phone call. It's very urgent.
31:57 Teach her a lesson. She knows she can't cross us again.
32:04 [Music]
32:07 What do you want?
32:23 Just teaching you a lesson.
32:27 I heard you like to seduce men.
32:32 Yes, I do.
32:34 Follow my classroom.
32:42 Go!
32:46 [Music]
32:50 [Music]
32:54 [Music]
32:57 [Music]
33:10 [Music]
33:13 Stay away from me. Leave me alone, please.
33:30 [Music]
33:33 [Music]
33:36 Where is Ethan? Why isn't he back yet?
33:43 Don't worry. He'll be home soon. He's been staying up all night.
33:47 [Music]
34:01 Oh, Sophie. How does it feel to be betrayed by the one you love most?
34:06 What do you want?
34:11 I heard you like to seduce men.
34:13 How much is she paying you?
34:15 I'll double it.
34:18 Fine.
34:21 I'll triple it.
34:23 [Music]
34:26 I'll triple it.
34:34 You want us to let you go?
34:36 No. Continue as planned. Only until my hero comes.
34:42 Your hero? Your hero coming?
34:45 Absolutely.
34:50 [Music]
34:53 Happy birthday to the best mom in the entire world.
35:04 I can't wait to spend every year with you.
35:07 Looks like someone broke their promise.
35:14 Are you prepared to lose the one you cherish most?
35:20 Happy birthday, madam.
35:22 No!
35:24 Morning. All this is for you.
35:39 Ethan.
35:44 [Phone rings]
